What's out There Richmond What’s Out There® Richmond Richmond, VA Dear What’s Out There Richmond Visitor, Welcome to What’s Out There Richmond, organized by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) with support from national and local partners. The materials in this guidebook will inform you about the history and design of this modern city at the Falls of the James River, a place referred to as “Non-such” by colonists to express its incomparability. Please keep and enjoy this guidebook for future explorations of Richmond’s diverse landscape heritage. In 2013, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, TCLF embarked upon What’s Out There Virginia, a survey of the Commonwealth’s landscape legacy, conceived to add more than 150 significant sites to the What’s Out There online database. As the program matured and our research broadened, TCLF developed What’s Out There Weekend Richmond, the tenth in an ongoing series of city- and regionally-focused tour Photo by Meg Eastman, courtesy Virginia Historical Society events that increase the public visibility of designed landscapes, their designers, and patrons. The two-day event held in October 2014 provided residents and tourists free, expert-led tours of the nearly thirty sites included in this guidebook and are the result of exhaustive, collaborative research. The meandering James River has, through the ages, been the organizing landscape feature of Richmond’s development, providing power to drive industry along with a navigable tidal section and canal network for transportation. The city became the governmental seat for the Confederacy and, following the Civil War and the period of Reconstruction, benefitted from the City Beautiful movement, which promoted symmetry, balance, grandeur, and monumentality. Today, Colonial Revival and Modernist styles are apparent amidst Richmond’s picturesque landscape, providing the design framework for parks, college campuses, civic squares, boulevards, suburbs, and cultural institutions. What’s Out There Richmond dovetails with the Web-based What’s Out There, the nation’s most comprehensive searchable database of historic designed landscapes. The database currently features more than 1,700 sites, 10,000 images, and 900 designer profiles. In 2013What’s Out There was optimized for The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) iPhones and similar handheld devices, and now includes What’s Nearby, a GPS-enabled function that locates TCLF provides the tools to see, understand and value landscape architecture and all landscapes in the database within a 25-mile radius of any given location. its practitioners in the way many people have learned to do with buildings and On behalf of The Cultural Landscape Foundation, I thank you for your interest in What’s Out There Richmond their designers.

  • Richmond: Evolution of a City As Shown Through Maps at the Library of Virginia
    RICHMOND: EVOLUTION OF A CITY AS SHOWN THROUGH MAPS AT THE LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA The City of Richmond evolved from a trading post at Shockoe Creek to become Virginia’s capital city. In 1737 William Mayo, a friend of William Byrd II, completed his survey of the town of Richmond. His plan was one common to the Tidewater, a rectangular town design located east of Shockoe Creek. That year, Byrd held a lottery to sell off town lots. Mayo’s original plan included 112 numbered lots, 14 lots designated by letters, and two without any identification. Lots 97 and 98 were set aside for the Henrico Parish vestry, and St. John’s Church was erected on them in 1741. In 1742 Virginia’s General Assembly granted Richmond a town charter. Byrd’s son, William Byrd III, in debt and seeking a way to pay off his creditors, decided to hold a lottery in 1768 to sell additional lots west of Shockoe Creek. When Virginia’s capital moved from Williamsburg to Richmond in 1780, Shockoe Hill was chosen as the site for the new capitol building; it would look over the town of Richmond that had developed on flat land adjacent to the James River. Nine directors, one of whom was Thomas Jefferson, were appointed to plan Virginia’s new capital. Jefferson proposed a gridiron plan for Shockoe Hill that would set apart the platted portion of “Richmond Town” from the new capitol. There would be two major connecting streets, Main and Cary, and “Capitol Square” would consist of three buildings.

Smith ABSTRACT The Virginia State Constitution of 1869 mandated that public school education be open to both black and white students on a segregated basis. In the city of Richmond, Virginia the public school system indeed offered separate school houses for blacks and whites, but public schools for blacks were conducted in small, overcrowded, poorly equipped and unclean facilities. At the beginning of the twentieth century, public schools for black students in the city of Richmond did not change and would not for many decades.
